Am I getting ScrewD?

If you are just looking for opinions as I am not an attorney, I think iceco1d is right on the money for the real world, it probably should not work that way, but ......
Have heard others talk to attorneys who say that if it's not age, sex, religion, race etc that not much could be done. See how fast you can get the 10th toe out the door and make more money somewhere else, too bad about the bonus.So what was the original offense? I know that if a subordinate really f***ed up, I wouldn’t show much patience. So what was it?
Unfortunately, my health is declining. I was on sick leave for 6 months in 2009. I simply asked to have my vacation days carried over to 2010 (which is allowed based upon mgrs discretion). I was told no, “I” don’t make exceptions. Now mind you I know people in other departments that had days carried over for destination weddings, or, going to Europe for two weeks. Hence, my pushback which created the problem. I feel like I am being penalized/discriminated against for being ill. Does this change things?

It may change things, depending on your illness. It wouldn’t hurt to talk to an attorney. I heard John Edwards is unemployed. For all of his being a scumbag, if I was going to sue big business, I would want him as my attorney.
He's either back office support or in a call center.Sick time? Firm?
Sure… I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not in production. Not an arbitrage specialist, nor an energy trader. And believe me if I where I would not be in this predicament. I’m a chimp, my biggest concern is keeping your lunch warm when it gets here (Doc tells me to keep my sense of humor throughout this so…) . Yup, that’s me, I’m the guy masturbating.
But here's the deal. It's a great job, I enjoy it. I get paid well and shouldn't be forced to leave it or the Firm over this one occurrence. My rating was so low that I was told I am now ineligible for transfer to a different department within the firm. Great. Which Firm you ask... the only one who's stock price is north of 100. So what you guys are telling me is that I'm effed? I spoke to an attorney who will entertain my claim (there are a few other details that I can't post). I'll give it a go, my career at this firm seems to have been stripped from me overnight, what do I have to lose at this point?? Fantastic Corporate World. Thoughts? And thanks...Wow, lots of non-producers getting fired on this board lately. I hope I’m not next.

Do they fire compliance people? Isn’t that sort of hard?
Of course they do…but now that you mention it…I’ve never even heard of one getting fired - they usually leave for better pay at another firm.
I think the only hard part about firing one is finding a good replacement.Quit complaining, change your attitude, and be happy you have a job. You are not entitled to a bonus.
